  • بیشتر احوال بر سنت رود  ** گاه قدرت خارق سنت شود 
  • Most happenings come to pass according to the (customary) law, (but) sometimes the (Divine) Power breaks the law.
  • سنت و عادت نهاده با مزه  ** باز کرده خرق عادت معجزه  1545
  • He hath established a goodly law and custom; then He hath made the (evidentiary) miracle a breach of the custom.
  • بی‌سبب گر عز به ما موصول نیست  ** قدرت از عزل سبب معزول نیست 
  • If honour does not reach us without a (mediating) cause, (yet) the (Divine) Power is not remote from the removal of the cause.
  • ای گرفتار سبب بیرون مپر  ** لیک عزل آن مسبب ظن مبر 
  • O thou who art caught by the cause, do not fly outside (of causation); but (at the same time) do not suppose the removal of the Causer.
  • هر چه خواهد آن مسبب آورد  ** قدرت مطلق سببها بر درد 
  • The Causer brings (into existence) whatsoever He will: the Absolute Power tears up (destroys) the causes;
  • لیک اغلب بر سبب راند نفاذ  ** تا بداند طالبی جستن مراد 
  • But, for the most part, He lets the execution (of His will) follow the course of causation, in order that a seeker may be able to pursue the object of his desire.
  • چون سبب نبود چه ره جوید مرید  ** پس سبب در راه می‌باید بدید  1550
  • When there is no cause, what way should the seeker pursue? Therefore he must have a visible cause in the way (that he is pursuing).
  • این سببها بر نظرها پرده‌هاست  ** که نه هر دیدار صنعش را سزاست 
  • These causes are veils on the eyes, for not every eye is worthy of (contemplating) His work.
  • دیده‌ای باید سبب سوراخ کن  ** تا حجب را بر کند از بیخ و بن 
  • An eye that can penetrate the cause is needed to extirpate (these) veils from root and bottom,
  • تا مسبب بیند اندر لامکان  ** هرزه داند جهد و اکساب و دکان 
  • So that it may behold the Causer in (the world of) non-spatiality and regard exertion and earnings and shops as (mere) nonsense.
